Awake: 6:23am Temp 57 Sunny Overnight @ Sutherland, Oregon
After breakfast I make a tire pressure check on both front tires….they
both read 130 psi which is “right on.”
Leave the Timber Valley SKP Park in Sutherlin@ 10:52am. About 40 miles
down the road on I-5, we stop @ a rest stop. I want to take another front
tire pressure reading. Also Kevin has called and I want to talk with him
on the cell phone while not driving the coach.
Both front tires are now reading the same: 140 psi which is higher due to
road rolling resistant heat & that’s fine.
Melissa, Kevin, and Matthew left their condo at 9:30pm on Thursday with
trailer fully loaded. After a short farewell visit with Katrina at her
apt, they were on their way; moving out of Alaska. Kevin tells us they
spent Thursday night in Palmer, Alaska, as well as most of the day today;
they have been making calls & arranging to have an equalizer & sway bar
system attached to their van & trailer for better handling. Kevin has
questions relating to using the van’s transmission for gearing on downhill
braking + tips on driving with a slightly overloaded trailer. Melissa also
has questions for the nurse re. a rash Matthew has developed. She and
Kathy agree it’s possibly Prickly Heat; she will try to keep him a bit
cooler and observe for changes.
Arrive @ the Jackson County Park & the Point RV campground just 5 miles
Southeast of Ashland, Oregon @ 2:30pm. They only have 32 full hookup sites
but this place is all new, big rig friendly & the price is right + seniors
get a discount; it’s beautiful here. We park on the high road site
overlooking 12 miles of shoreline on Emigrant Lake.
Today’s travel: 2+57 time 129.7 miles 19.25 gal 6.74 mpg 46.0 avg speed.
8:10 dinner: Kathy’s homemade crab cakes with brown & wild rice, mixed
salad with fresh, crumbled Stilton blue cheese and blue cheese dressing &
garlic bread.
Late evening: Reading magazines in bed.
